Sweet, Sweet Ebay Trick Takes Greedy Lady To School

The best part is that the scam wouldn't have worked if she was a decent person. If so, she would have just told the 'payback' account that the deal fell through and she didn't have the tickets. It can only work because she's a deceitful bitch.

I have no sympathy for this woman. Being on the receiving end of shady dealings on eBay, I can tell you it's not a place I'll ever sell or buy anything, and eBay's 'protection program' is lackluster and their customer service nearly non-existent.

I was going to say that this was extremely over the top considering he probably could have given a second chance offer to the bidders who missed out, but in the reddit post he says he had tried all the losing bidders ('I already got turned down by the losing bidders', which begs the question, were they serious too?), and that there was seriously no time left to resell them at all due to it being on the next day.

So, yeah, with all of that taken into account, and her behaviour, she deserves all she got. Bravo

The other bidders were probably serious, but it's hard not to get scammed with a 2nd chance offer. I mean, the seller can just have a friend up-bid the item and then if the friend actually wins, they can do a 2nd chance offer to get the last sucker that bid.

I used to be a Powerseller back in the early 2000's.

Things may have changed, but back then when you signed up for an account it clearly stated that bidding for and winning an item was a legal contractual agreement. This was a form of protection for the seller.

Unless things have changed, when she bid for and won those tickets she was contractually obligated to pay for it. Now, if this were taken to court, I believe the findings would be that it was indeed her that bought the tickets and did so at the time of sound mind. It was only after that some other person got involved and said no (the husband) because he thinks she bid too much.

I'm sure there are a few loopholes; but I feel no sympathy for this women if the entirely of this story is 100% true. These kind of people made me sick back then, and make me sick today. Good on this guy, and I say that because I know I am not the kind of person that would ever do what this woman, if true, did. I know my role as a buyer on Ebay.

I bid, I buy.
